Hair Loss Advice
Question:
I’m 26 years old and have been on the Ashley and Martin program for about 3 years which consists primarily of 7% Minoxidil solution and Finasteride. In the first year the program seemed to work very well, but now a couple of years on I’m noticing that I’m losing hair again. Can you suggest an appropriate alternative?
Answer:
Hi, first I am not too sure about the benefits of having 7% minox to be honest – none of the clinical trials show that solutions above 5% make any difference at all.
Finasteride, as you no doubt no, is FDA approved for the treatment for male hair loss though the results are around 60% success I believe though I am not sure of the exact figure.
Have there been any changes in diet, lifestyle, stress, bereavement, redundancy etc. etc. that occurred a few weeks before you began to lose hair again? Have you started taking any other medication for any other medical condition?
Also, what condition is your scalp in? Is it healthy? Or is it inflamed or itchy in anyway.?
Please reply to email I sent you regarding this.
